Its that annoying time of the year again, when the state and fed government ask us to tidy up their tax bookkeeping. We’ll cover a few things you may be able to write off as a freelancer that you didn’t know about. Also, living in this unsure economic time can leave us with questions about our job security. Don’t be left out in the cold without a job and even worse without a plan. We’ll look at a few tips to be ready for that depressing day, should it come.

Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong!
A  book by Rachel Andrew and Kevin Yank from Sitepoint

I felt that this book had some great lessons to offer in the way of moving from a table-based workflow to CSS. The topics were covered well, and explained in enough detail for most to follow. The only problem I have with the book is the title. It lead me to believe that there is some new revelation in the book about how CSS code should be written, thus targeting avid users of the technology. After reading the book, I felt it was more a guide designed for those users who are NOT yet familiar with the ways of CSS. I would recommend this publication for those looking to get into the game of CSS coding as opposed to a completely table-based workflow.
